Description

  The present invention relates to a golf garment. More specifically, the present invention relates to a shirt or inner wear that fits the body worn when playing golf.

  Conventionally, in sportswear such as ski wear, research on materials suitable for sports has been promoted so that functionality, durability, moisture permeability, and cold resistance are appropriate. In particular, in addition to researching materials, in order to improve functionality without hindering the movement of the user according to the sport, the main focus is on which part is better expanded and contracted in which direction. It was being studied.

  Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent No. 3115816) discloses a sportswear worn when performing various sports such as baseball pitchers, tennis, and shot puts, and the upper limb muscles in the vicinity of the shoulder joint and the shoulder joint. It has been proposed to apply taping theory in sports science and form a portion with strong tightening force in sportswear to produce the same effect as taping in order to make use of prevention and treatment of disabilities.

  In Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent No. 40613336), attention is paid to the fact that in various sports, the movement of the scapula is performed in accordance with the turning of the trunk and the movement of the arm, and in that case, the left and right scapula move together. In addition, exercise clothing for improving athletic performance has been proposed. The garment of Patent Document 2 includes a belt-like tightening portion having a tightening force higher than that of the garment main body portion, and the tightening portion is located at positions corresponding to the annular tightening portion and the thoracic vertebra surrounding the left and right shoulder blades of the wearer. And a tightening portion that connects the left and right annular tightening portions. The muscles around the scapula are supported by the annular tightening part, and the movements of the left and right scapulae are linked by the tightening part at a position corresponding to the thoracic vertebra.

  In the apparel of Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 described above, a tightening portion is provided along the muscle or along the skeleton so as to correspond to various sports, and the purpose is to reinforce the muscle by the tightening portion, and It aims to improve athletic ability by reinforcing muscles. Moreover, it corresponds to sports in general, and is not proposed specifically for golf. It is described in Patent Document 2 that the head speed is improved by wearing a garment of Patent Document 2 and performing a golf swing. This is because the muscle is supported by the tightening portion, and the movable region of the scapula is wide. It is explained that it is because it became.

  However, with regard to golf play, if the muscles around the shoulders become stronger or the movable area of the shoulders becomes wider, the golf swing is not stable, or the person swings with a selfish habit. (Beginners and intermediate players) cannot swing golf clubs well.

In other words, in order to obtain a good score during golf play, it is always required to swing the golf club in an ideal form. For such an ideal swing form, for example:
○ Hold the shoulder line, waist line, and foot position all square with respect to the target.
○ Hold the club with the upper arm facing outwards and the elbow to the inner twist, and maintain this state during the swing. (Note that if you squeeze both hands with the grip, the upper arm will be twisted and the swing will become cramped. )
○ Pull the club head straight down as if the left knee is facing the ball, slowly swing the back swing, start the wrist cock around the waist height (during the back swing, the shoulder at the address is lowered Maintain and be careful not to lift your shoulders),
○ Next, do not loosen the grip, open the right side moderately, extend the left arm straight, support the right hand lightly and start the downswing, lead the swing with the left hip and left arm, and the right elbow on the body Attract enough, start using it after the grip end is below the waistline,
○ Impact is close to the state of the address, catch the ball in front of the body,
○ After impact, extend the right arm, let the left arm play the role of Kagi, and perform a great foorthru,
It is taught that.

  However, this ideal swing form will not work as expected unless the golf player acquires it. Therefore, various correction devices and correction tools that can obtain an ideal foam have been proposed. Conventionally proposed correction devices and correction tools can be used to acquire ideal swing foam, but cannot be used during golf play. In particular, there is a problem that a beginner cannot swing according to the acquired form.

  In Patent Document 3 (utility model registration No. 3039102), predetermined elastic elasticity is given to the arm and the side part from the elbow to the shoulder of the arm on the delay side of the downswing, for example, the right arm when right-handed. However, a correction garment has been proposed in which the right arm is held to the side and the shoulder rotation and the preferred timing of the transition from the top position of the backswing to the downswing can be experienced.

  Although this golf swing correction garment can be used during golf play, it is a part of the ideal swing form, that is, it corrects the rotation of the shoulder and the timing from the top position to the down swing. There was a problem that could not correct the whole.

  In view of the above, Patent Document 4 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-157727) proposes a golf swing correction garment that allows a golf club to swing with an ideal form even during golf play.

  This golf swing correction garment uses a stretchable fabric that stretches the portion from the left side to the right shoulder and the left sleeve with a small load, and has a large stretch elasticity that stretches the remaining body and right sleeve with a large load, The stretch direction of the fabric having a large stretch elasticity is inclined to the upper right from the hem. This restricts the movement of the shoulder joint on the right side (downswing delay side) and restricts the downswing movement of the right arm more than the movement of the left arm.

Japanese Patent No. 3115816 Japanese Patent No. 40613336 Utility Model Registration No. 3039102 JP 2001-157727 A

  The golf swing correction garment of Patent Document 4 is composed of a material having a large elastic elasticity that stretches with a large load on the entire body and the right sleeve except for the left shoulder portion. There is a problem that it is uncomfortable.

  Moreover, since such orthodontic garments use fabrics with large elastic elasticity at an angle (bias) unlike conventional clothing, the fabric is biased in sewing processes such as side stitching, sleeve attachment, and under-sleeve sewing. There is a problem that the fabric is easily twisted and difficult to sew.

  In the golf swing correction garment of Patent Document 4, the movement of the right shoulder joint is restricted and the down swing movement of the right arm is restricted more than the movement of the left arm, but it does not stretch unless a large load is applied. It is impossible to correct to an ideal swing form because the cloth having large elastic elasticity is almost entirely used and corrected forcibly.

  The present invention provides a golf garment that solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, moderately regulates the movement at the time of swing from a golf address, and makes the body move at that time conscious. Objective.

  The present invention comprises a stretchable upper garment body and a belt-like body sewn on the upper garment body, the belt-like body is made of a non-stretchable fabric not containing polyurethane, and the belt-like body is worn on the back body. Connected to the back-restricting band with the left and right armholes at the sleeve of the upper garment, extending between the left and right armholes at a position that crosses over the scapula below the neck, and crosses the sleeve folding line The above object has been achieved by a golf garment characterized in that it includes a belt for arm regulation sewn to the sleeve in a spiral manner up to the cuff.

  Further, according to the present invention, the shoulder-regulating belt-like body is provided surrounding the armhole in the front body and the back body, and the shoulder-regulating belt-like body is provided on the shoulder and the armpit on the front body side and the back body side. Are preferably connected.

  Furthermore, in the upper garment for golf of the present invention, it is preferable that an abdomen regulating cloth made of a non-stretchable fabric not containing polyurethane is sewn on the lower part of the stretchable upper garment body.

  In this case, the middle part of the abdomen regulating cloth is the highest in the front body and extends to the hem, the upper edge of the abdomen regulating cloth reaches the hem in an arc shape, It is preferable that the left and right hem portions are located in the back body.

  As another aspect of the abdominal part regulating cloth, the abdominal part regulating cloth extends in parallel to the waist part only at the waist part in the front body, and the upper edge of the abdominal part regulating cloth is near the under bust. It is preferable that it is located in.

  The tape-like tightening portion employed in the conventional sportswear disclosed in Patent Document 2 applies a taping theory to prevent muscle reinforcement and excessive muscle stretching. It is made of a fabric having a high rate (2% to 5% for a normal stretch fabric and 10% or more), and a fabric having a large stretch elasticity when applied with a large force.

  On the other hand, according to the present invention, the band-like body sewn on the upper garment body is not intended to reinforce the muscles or prevent the muscles from being excessively stretched, but when playing golf (from address to swing). This is intended to direct attention to the necessary parts and to regulate unnecessary large movements. For this reason, the strip | belt-shaped body of this invention consists of a non-stretchable fabric which does not contain a polyurethane.

  That is, the upper garment body of the present invention has a stretchable upper garment body, so that it fits the body, and the non-stretchable belt-like body sewn on it causes the wearer to be aware of the sewing location. Moreover, when a wearer performs some operation | movement, it can perform the role which regulates not pulling forcibly with respect to the operation | movement of the direction which pulls a strip | belt-shaped body.

  According to the present invention, the back-regulating belt-like body extending between the left and right armholes at a position crossing the scapula below the neckline in the back body at the back body, and the back-regulating belt-like shape at the left and right armholes in the sleeve of the upper garment An arm-regulating belt-like body that is connected to the body and spirally sewn to the sleeve beyond the crest fold line to the cuff.

  At the time of addressing, it is a good form to extend the arm and move the shoulder toward the front inside, so-called “shoulder closed” and the shoulder naturally lowered. According to the present invention, it is easy to confirm that this is a good foam by providing the back regulating band at a position crossing over the scapula. That is, it is a good form with the shoulders lowered if the arms for stretching the back and the shoulders closed can be conscious of the band for regulating the back. If the form is poor in a state where the shoulder is raised (the state where the shoulder is lifted), the band for back regulation cannot be conscious.

  According to the present invention, the back-regulating belt and the arm-regulating belt are connected, and the arm-regulating belt is sewn to the sleeve spirally over the sleeve folding line and through the inside of the elbow to the cuff. Thus, a force that twists the wearer's upper arm outward is applied by the pulling force of the portion up to the inner side of the elbow of the arm regulating strip connected to the back regulating strip. And the force twisted inside acts from the elbow of the spiral arm-regulating belt. Therefore, the club can be grasped in a preferable state in which the upper arm faces outward and the tip of the elbow is internally twisted, and this state can be easily maintained even during a swing.

  Further, according to the present invention, the shoulder-regulating strip is provided so as to surround the arm hole in the front body and the back body, and the shoulder-regulating strip, the back-regulating strip, and the arm-regulating strip are integrated. It works to prevent the shoulders and arms from rising high during the backswing. That is, the state where the shoulders and arms are stretched high is a bad foam, but when the shoulders are raised too much, it gives a feeling that the armpit portion of the shoulder regulating belt can be used. In addition, it is easy to return both arms to the attitude at the time of addressing (the shape of an isosceles triangle) at the time of downswing by being conscious of the shoulder regulating belt or the shoulder regulating belt.

  In the rotational movement of the body during a swing, if the rotation axis is shaken, it is difficult for the muscle force to be transmitted to the club head, and the flight distance does not increase. In particular, amateur players often have a lack of force to support the waist with the power of the abdominal muscles as a cause of blurring of the waist axis, which is the center of rotation.

  As a countermeasure, according to the present invention, an abdomen regulating cloth made of a non-stretchable fabric not containing polyurethane is sewn on the lower part of the stretchable upper garment body. By providing the abdomen regulating cloth in this way, the wearer's abdomen is pressed and tightened, and awareness of the abdominal muscles is increased. Thus, by swinging the club with the force applied to the abdominal muscles, the force is transmitted to the club head and the flight distance can be extended.

  In particular, while compressing and tightening the above-mentioned wearer's abdomen, in order to enhance the effect of raising the awareness of the abdominal muscles, the abdomen regulating cloth has the highest center part in the front body and extends to the hem, It is preferable that the upper edge of the abdominal part regulating cloth extends in an arc shape and reaches the hem, and the right and left hem parts of the abdominal part regulating cloth are located in the back body. .

  In another aspect, when the wearer is a woman, the abdomen regulating cloth extends in parallel to the waist part only at the waist part in the front body, and the upper edge of the abdomen regulating cloth is under- It is preferable that the vicinity of the bust is reached. In the case of women, the arm is likely to be placed on the chest during backswing due to the height of the chest, but in the present invention, the arm is placed on the chest by tightening the under bust with an abdominal restriction cloth. It becomes easy to put under the arm, and the elbow of the anti-dominant arm can be prevented from rising too much during the back swing.

It is one Example of the upper garment for golf of this invention, Fig.1 (a) is the front view, FIG.1 (b) is a rear view. It is another Example of the upper garment for golf of this invention, Fig.2 (a) is the front view, FIG.2 (b) is a rear view.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on the embodiments shown in the drawings.

  The golf upper garment of the present invention comprises an elastic upper garment body 1 and a belt-like body 2 sewn on the upper garment body 1. The belt-like body 2 is made of a non-stretchable fabric that does not contain polyurethane. In FIG. 1, a fine vertical line is given to indicate a portion of the non-stretchable fabric.

  The stretchable fabric used for the upper garment body 1 of the present invention is preferably a two-way stretch fabric having stretchability vertically and horizontally so that it fits the wearer's body and is easy to exercise. The stretchable fabric may be a knitted fabric or a woven fabric, but a knitted fabric is preferred because it easily stretches. From the viewpoint of stretchability, weft knitting such as knitting with a circular knitting machine is preferable to warp knitting.

  The yarn used for elastic fabric may be only crimped yarn such as nylon, but in order to improve the adhesion to the body, polyurethane elastic yarn is used, and the proportion of polyurethane may be increased more than usual. preferable. For example, 91% nylon and 9% polyurethane.

  In the present invention, the non-stretchable fabric used for the belt-like body 2 is a fabric that does not use polyurethane elastic yarn and does not substantially have elastic stretchability, and may be a woven fabric or a knitted fabric. The belt-like body 2 is difficult to extend in the length direction. In the case of a knitted fabric, it can be deformed regardless of the material of the knitting yarn because of its stitch structure. Therefore, it is preferable to use a high gauge that has a tightly stitched and difficult to stretch. An example of such a fabric is “Ultra Shell” (registered trademark) sold by Toray Industries, Inc., and this fabric may be used for the belt-like body 2 of the present invention. Further, when the woven fabric or knitted fabric is stretched in the vertical and horizontal directions, the direction in which the strip does not stretch is used as the length direction of the band-shaped body 2.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the belt-like body 2 is provided at several places in the golf garment of the present invention. In FIG. 1 (b), the back regulating band 21 is below the neckline 12a in the back body 12 and above the scapula 3 (the portion corresponding to the scapula is shown by a dotted line when the upper garment for golf is worn). Extending between the left and right rear body side armholes 12b and 12b '.

  Arm-regulating belt-like bodies 22, 22 'are sewn on the left and right sleeves 13, 13' of the upper garment spirally from the left and right rear body side armholes 12b, 12b 'to the cuffs. The arm regulating strips 22 and 22 'are connected to the back regulating strip 21 through the arm holes 12b and 12b', and the sleeve fold lines 13c and 13c '(that is, the sleeve seams 13d, from the rear sleeve sides 13a and 13a'). When the sleeve is folded flat with reference to 13d ', it extends to the front sleeve side 13b, 13b' (see Fig. 1 (a)) beyond the shoulder-to-cuff line on the opposite side) , It passes through the inside of the elbow, turns to the back sleeve side 13a, 13a 'again, and is sewn to the sleeve 13, 13' spirally to the cuff. As shown in FIG. 1, the spiral directions of the left and right arm regulating strips 22 and 22 'are opposite to each other.

  In FIG. 1A, the left and right front body side armholes are indicated by reference numerals 11b and 11b ′. In the front body 11 and the back body 12, the arm holes 11b, 12b on the left arm side and the arm holes 11b ', 12b' on the right arm side are surrounded by the shoulder bodies 23, 23 ', respectively. The shoulder regulating strips 23 and 23 'pass over the scapula in the back body 12, and the front body side and the back body side are connected to each other at the shoulder and armpit to form an annular shape. In the illustrated embodiment, after the shoulder regulating strips 23 and 23 ′ are sewn on the back body 12, the back regulating strip 21 is sewn.

  An abdomen regulating cloth 4 is sewn to a lower part of the upper garment body 1 having elasticity (a part covering the abdomen of the wearer). The abdomen restricting cloth 4 is made of a non-stretchable fabric that does not contain polyurethane, like the belt 2.

  As shown in FIG. 1 (a), the abdomen regulating cloth 4 has the highest center part in the front body 11 and extends to the hem, and the upper edge 4a of the abdomen regulating cloth 4 has an arc shape. It reaches to the hem. And as shown in FIG.1 (b), it is preferable to extend so that the right and left skirt part of the cloth 4 for abdominal part regulation may be located in the back body 12. As shown in FIG.

  By doing in this way, while pressing and tightening a wearer's abdomen, the effect which raises the consciousness to an abdominal muscle can be heightened. This aspect is particularly preferable as a golf upper garment for gentlemen who tend to be thick and have a lower abdomen easily coming out of the shape of the abdomen regulating cloth 4 described above.

  Another embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the upper garment for golf according to the present invention. FIG. 2 (a) is a front view thereof, and FIG. 2 (b) is a rear view thereof. The embodiment shown in FIG. 2 is particularly preferable as a golf upper garment for women.

Also in the embodiment of FIG. 1, it is possible to eliminate wrinkles as in the embodiment of FIG. 2.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the belt-like body 2 is also provided at several places in the golf garment of the present invention. In FIG. 2 (b), the back regulating band 21 is below the neckline 12a in the back body 12 and above the scapula 3 (the part corresponding to the scapula is shown by a dotted line when the upper garment for golf is worn). Extending between the left and right rear body side armholes 12b and 12b '.

  Arm regulating strips 22, 22 'are sewn on the left and right sleeves 13, 13' of the upper garment spirally from the left and right arm holes 12b, 12b 'to the cuffs. The arm regulating strips 22 and 22 'are connected to the back regulating strip 21 through the arm holes 12b and 12b', and extend from the rear sleeve sides 13a and 13a 'to the sleeve folding mountain lines 13c and 13c', and the front sleeve side 13b. 13b '(see FIG. 2 (a)), passes through the inner side of the elbow, turns to the rear sleeve side 13a, 13a' again, and is sewn to the sleeves 13, 13 'spirally to the cuffs. As shown in FIG. 2, the spiral directions of the left and right arm regulating strips 22 and 22 'are opposite to each other.

  In the front body 11 and the back body 12, the arm holes 11b, 12b on the left arm side and the arm holes 11b ', 12b' on the right arm side are surrounded by the shoulder bodies 23, 23 ', respectively. The shoulder regulating strips 23 and 23 'pass over the scapula in the back body 12, and the front body side and the back body side are connected to each other at the shoulder and armpit to form an annular shape. In the illustrated embodiment, after the shoulder regulating strips 23 and 23 ′ are sewn on the back body 12, the back regulating strip 21 is sewn.

  Since the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 is a golf upper garment for women, the shoulder width is narrower than that in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, and the arm hole side edges and arm holes of the shoulder regulating strips 23, 23 ′ are shown. The distances from 11b, 11b ', 12b, and 12b' are reduced.

  When the shoulder regulating strips 23 and 23 'are in the above-described state, when the woman wears the golf garment 1 shown in FIG. 2, the effects of the shoulder regulating strips 23 and 23' are easily obtained, and the back swing is performed. The rise of time can be prevented.

  An abdomen regulating cloth 4 is sewn to a lower part of the upper garment body 1 having elasticity (a part covering the abdomen of the wearer). Is made of a non-stretchable fabric that does not contain polyurethane, like the belt 2.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, the abdomen regulating cloth 4 of FIG. 2 extends only in the waist part of the front body 11 in parallel to the waist part, and as shown in FIG. The abdomen regulating cloth 4 has not reached the back body. In this embodiment, the upper edge 4a of the abdomen regulating cloth 4 is located near the under bust. The upper garment for golf shown in FIG. 2 is for women, and the waist portion is narrowed down to a more beautiful body shape as compared with the embodiment shown in FIG.

  By positioning the abdomen restricting cloth 4 as described above, the wearer's abdomen is pressed and tightened as in the embodiment shown in FIG. Thereby, the wearer can transmit the force to the club head by swinging the club in a state where force is applied to the abdominal muscles, and can extend the flight distance.

  According to the embodiment of FIG. 2, the abdomen regulating cloth 4 extends only in the waist part on the front body side in parallel to the waist part, and the upper edge 4 a reaches the under bust. To stabilize the area near the wearer's ribs.
